Leon Draisaitl's possible extension in Edmonton, per Source
During a phone interview on the Hello Hockey Show, NHL Insider David Pagnotta revealed what an extension for Leon Draisaitl with the Edmonton Oilers could look like.
Leon Draiastaitl is unquestionably one of the most productive players currently in the NHL. Despite the high level of talent on the ice, he currently sits at third for most career points in the last decade.
982 � Connor McDavid
855 � Nikita Kucherov
850 � Leon Draisaitl
836 � Nathan Mackinnon
827 � Sidney Crosby
791 � Patrick Kane"
Yet, the Oilers also have Connor McDavid, who is often considered the best hockey player in the world. As such, Edmonton has not prioritized re-signing Draisaitl this summer, leading to speculation that he may be off to a new NHL home following the upcoming season.
However, after the rumors largely ceased, David Pagnotta revealed what an extension for Draisaitl could look like. During his phone interview on Hello Hockey Show, he suggested that Edmonton will likely look to sign him on a medium-term length, similar to Toronto's deal with Auston Matthews.
While this may not be ideal for many Edmonton fans, they can largely rest assured that Leon Draisaitl is more than likely to remain on the team for several more years. Yet, if his price is too high, it could spell trouble for the Oilers in the future.
